Texas Medieval CFP

TEXAS MEDIEVAL ASSOCIATION (TEMA) sponsored Session at the 44th International Congress on Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo, May 7-10 2009: Breakthroughs in Twentieth-Century Historiography of the Crusades.

This session invites submissions dealing with important historians of the Crusades who produced works during the twentieth century that gave impetus to new directions in Crusade studies, which may, or may not have, have been followed up. The session will attempt to examine Crusade historiography and the various frameworks of analysis that scholars have used to understand the crusading movement. Likely candidates for analysis include Carl Erdmann, José Goñi Gaztambide, and John Gilchrist. Any other Crusade historian of note may be selected. The primary criteria of selection should be based on breakthroughs that scholars have made in the study of the Crusades that have revolutionized Crusade scholarship or have the potential for doing so. Many findings by pioneers in the field have not been fully understood or absorbed by those that study the Crusades. A full and complete understanding of the works of Erdmann, Goñi Gaztambide, and Gilchrist, for example, has the potential of sending Crusade scholarship in an entirely new direction and this session hopes to facilitate this task.

Please send abstracts (no more than 300 words) to dkagay1@netzero.com along with a completed "Participant Information form" (available on the Congress web site at: http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress)no later than September 12th, 2009.
